X-Press Legal Services has successfully launched its new Leadership in Law CPD event, bringing law firm leaders together to explore the challenges facing today’s conveyancing sector.
Over 30 law firm leaders attended the full day event at Hencote Vineyard in Shrewsbury which included presentations, lunch and a private vineyard tour.
Led by industry experts, the event explored a myriad of challenges currently facing the industry with particular focus on conveyancing. Presentations included the operational essentials of leading a conveyancing department, a PI spotlight and how to unlock the untapped potential within legal teams.
The largest independent property data provider in England and Wales, X-Press Legal Services supports over 5,000 conveyancing professionals nationwide. The demand for its regional CPD events reflects the company’s commitment to combining cutting-edge technology with the irreplaceable value of human expertise.
David Mermod, Director of X-Press Legal Services Central, commented: “At X-Press, AI means Actual Intelligence and, when it comes to sound leadership within the legal sector, nothing replaces human experience and judgement. This event provided a valuable opportunity to bring law firm leaders together and share practical solutions for running efficient conveyancing departments in a challenging market.”
With the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) increasing enforcement activity, compliance concerns such as AML checks, ID verification and source of funds scrutiny have become a top priority for conveyancers. X-Press Legal Services’ CPD events provide practical guidance on these issues alongside updates on leasehold reform, SDLT, Land Registry practice and fraud prevention strategies.
“We are proud to support so many dedicated conveyancers,” added David. “Staying ahead in an industry that evolves so quickly is no easy task, and legal professionals really value the opportunity these events provide to share experiences with their peers. That’s why in‑person CPD sessions are so important, they give conveyancers the opportunity to learn, connect and stay at the forefront of a rapidly changing professional landscape.”
